Room 25 had bed bugs, the tub was black with filth, and one of our towels had a wad of something sticky with hair in it. When we tried to talk to the clerk about the issues and wanting to cancel our second night, they said the manager would be in at 10:30 a.m, that we needed to talk with them. We left the property at 8 a.m., returning the key with the clerk. I messaged the motel through my Expedia reservation, and have not heard back from them. I requested a refund. I took a picture of the bed bug for evidence. I have never stayed in a room that filthy before. The carpets weren't vacuumed, there were sprays of brown liquid on the walls, the comforters were stained, and the curtains were stained both in the room and bathroom. The motel was creepy and run down. The \"office\" is someone's bedroom with a drive through window. So, when you check in, you see their living quarters and their bed.
The pictures online do not match the actual motel. 100% do not recommend.

We booked a two night stay at the property. We were put in a room that had a very \"old, tangy\" odor. People were very loud outside of the room for half of the night. There was only one electrical outlet in the room and the tv and refrigerator were plugged into it. No place for phone charger. We were given a different room the second night which was a bit nicer, but the refrigerator was on a bench and was very tippy when opened. It had a fairly large dent in the door, which I assume, came from a fall. It was cheap though.

The picture of motel is deceiving. It is severely run down and dated. After I walked into our room I was going to check out and go to another hotel but I was unable to get a refund. The shower was dirty and I wore my water shoes to take a shower. Go elsewhere for lodging.

I left the motel without staying. The room was filthy with cobwebs hanging from the ceiling which obviously have been hanging there for years as they where encased in grime. The air conditioner was covered in dust and grime.The exterior door leading directly to the street was a only a hollow core door with a flimsy physical key, The door jam actually had a hole broken in it and the safety chain had been haphazardly reattached to the wall.The photographs of the motel posted on Travelocity were very misleading. The photos present an older motel that has been renovated but in reality it is a dump that should be torn down. I don't understand how an establishment like this could possibly been promoted by Travelocity!! I feel scammed and have lost trust in Traveocity Very seedy and ghetto indeed!

Very old motel, not well kept up. One room, refrigerator and micro on an old desk. No desk space, small over-the-air TV screen. Tiny bathroom, not too clean. High cost in a tourist-trap town.

I paid $206 thru Expedia for my room after selecting Pet friendly properties. After I arrived and checked in I was tokld I needed to pay an additional 25 dollar pet fee. I shared that I paid the full price already, The staff started knocking on my dore at dusk and continnued knocking for 1.5 hours. I felt scared fromt he first knock. I called the front desk and shared that I paid the full proce prior to arrival. They insisted on the additonal $25. I shared that I felt threatened and would call the police if they knocked again. They did. I called the police. I ended up packing my things while the police were there and leaving in my car becaus eI felt so threatened and unsafe. They refused to refund my money. I had spent a total of 4.5 hours at their facility. 1.5 hours of which they knocked incessently.

I was surprised by the condition of the room/hotel. I wasn't expecting the Ritz, but based on the rating I guess I expected a bit more. The room we got was nothing like the pictures. The floors were quite dirty,. I wiped up a water spill and unfortunately the towel was black afterwards. It was dirty enough that we ended up using the towel in the room to create a runner of sorts to keep out feet off the floors. There was hair from where someone had shaved on the faucet handles and counter. Large dusty cobwebs above the bed. The shower head was quite clogged which made it so the water only came out in a few random streams. Other things like a broken deadbolt, broken refrigerator and broken toilet paper holder should be addressed.

The space is really small. The TV was tiny. I almost couldn’t believe I paid money to stay in a room so poorly updated. I guess it was only 80 dollars but I don’t understand why it hasn’t been renovated since 1982. We still managed to have a good time in spite of these hurdles with the room.

MOTEL HELL, false advertising they show a pic on expedia and give u a different room. My closet is as big as this room the owner and employer at Nova Motel are rude and liars and are only interested in trying to switch and bait and then try to put u in the right room by upcharging u $20 more for the right room that u should have got in the first place. Also the floors are filthy and they have a space heater in the wall and u burn your arm passing by it, totally elegal. And the site says they have free wifi and they claim they have no wifi and just laugh in your face about it. Total false advertising! They will be answering to the Attorney General and Consumers Protection Bureau soon. I WANT MY MONEY BACK! BEWARE of staying here for real!

I like that it is reminiscent of days gone by before all the big chain hotels started taking over. It was a very warm and relaxed feel to the room. I flew solo so I didn’t use the jacuzzi tub for two but I’m sure that would be a nice add-on for a couple “kids” in love, no matter what your age. 😄

This property looks like it was built in the 50’s and never repaired or remodeled. Door and windows were old and windows didn’t even lock. Chair and carpeting in the room were old and the place smelled musty. We left to find a different hotel. Unfortunately lost out on $148, but I wouldn’t have been able to sleep in that room if we stayed.

We stopped for a night at the motel before staying at the state park. Really did love the motel, rooms, bedding, towels were all nice and clean. We didn’t use the pool but it also looked clean and well kept. There was fresh coffee and muffins in the office in the morning. I was able to park my camper in a lot behind the motel. Not far from town and close to a Dairy Queen :)

TV did not work, had to keep askingmanagement to fix it.Desk clerk refused to come help with tv. Floor was sopping wet by entrance and under air conditioner upon our arrival. Soap not replaced after room cleaned. No extra roll of toilet tissue left. Room was not as pictured as shown on website. Room looked like hadnt been updated for 20 years as opposed to updated picture shown on website. Desk clerk was rude and unwilling to help, just kept telling us to call manager but didnt give name or number who to call. This is the worst place and misrepresented place I have ever stayed. I'm going to pursue getting a refund!

Nice workers and clean room, but…

My husband was alone on the trip. There was not a “single usb” in the room. He also did not appreciate that there was no coffee maker or even cups in the room. He said people were smoking outside his room until 3 am, and they started up again early in the morning. The ac pulled the smoke into his room.

“The room was clean but quite small. We thought we were getting the larger deluxe room with a large bathtub, but ended up in a very small queen room with a toilet, sink, and standing shower. Additionally, there was no information provided about an extra charge for pets; it said pet-friendly, but there was a $25 daily fee.”

We love how accommodating and friendly the owners were, it’s a family-owned. Our room was one of the cheapest room so of course we don’t expect luxury. This was a budget overnight room. Despite it being old, you can tell they make efforts to make the place clean and maintain it. At the time of the booking, it was peak season so our room was over $100, on normal days you can get is for less than that and it’ll be worth it for me. Hot water works fine, AC was cold - it has basic comfort you need for a quick stay. Location - wise it’s good
